Speaker 1: You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy
Speaker 1: knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned in
Speaker 1: to the speeds and spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up
Speaker 1: next on that cipher on the microphone. You know that
Speaker 1: I'm one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what
Speaker 1: it is. It's your boy day, Martinez, a k A.
Speaker 1: Speed decade has bitten Satistician a k A Stable genius
Speaker 1: and vocal minority. And welcome to another edition of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Network. We
Speaker 1: got the stats over meat cipher coming live and direct.
Speaker 1: Got a good show for you here at the beginning
Speaker 1: of April. You know, we got over that opening day wave.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit of baseball. There's a
Speaker 1: very interesting cat that is returning that we're gonna get into.
Speaker 1: Didn't I hit a home run in his leaddoff return.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. I'll tell you why I don't
Speaker 1: like these, uh, you know, injuries early on in the season,
Speaker 1: because you can go one way and have it actually
Speaker 1: be that you're out for a couple of days. You
Speaker 1: can come right back right after, I bet you and
Speaker 1: wind up and inside the park full run. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I'm talking about a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: I I'm gonna be telling you about this massive extension
Speaker 1: that was signed by Charlie Blackman and why some people
Speaker 1: are like, wait a second, I thought this free agent
Speaker 1: class in the next offseason was where it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Yet why I think Charlie Blackman and his you know, agents,
Speaker 1: his team were actually very very smart in making that extension.
Speaker 1: Right now, then when we go to football, um check
Speaker 1: it out. There's you know, we're still getting ready for
Speaker 1: the draft. I'm gonna start talking to a couple of
Speaker 1: people you know that are working their way hopefully back
Speaker 1: in the league that are not via the draft and
Speaker 1: making the news and notes there and of course we
Speaker 1: can fund in functional sports content. A little bit later on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you about why I actually think Salve
Speaker 1: Panelo Alvarez's excuse is plausible. We'll talk about that. We'll
Speaker 1: get into it with the status of be the Cipher
Speaker 1: you're on the Fantasy Sports Network. We also got a
Speaker 1: full question up as usual. Okay, you can hit me
Speaker 1: up on Twitter at spitting Speeds. The full question is
Speaker 1: as it relates to these new York Yankees, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little fun about them later on, but
Speaker 1: listen to this middle of this lineup. It's absolutely ridiculous. Okay,
Speaker 1: we've seen standing go off a couple of times already.
Speaker 1: You got Arrant, Judge, got l Gary the cracking uh
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez. How many more runs do you think they're
Speaker 1: gonna combine to it? I mean last year fifty nine
Speaker 1: at the standifty two, I believe, added judge Gary Sanchez.
Speaker 1: You know he's now put up something like finally a
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty career games and it sits on like
Speaker 1: fifty who runs in that period of time as well?
Speaker 1: So that's the whole questions. Do you think the three
Speaker 1: of them will combine under a hundred and that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's still averaging thirty and all runs? Okay, if that
Speaker 1: is the lowest option in this poll, do you think
Speaker 1: it will between like I say, a hundred or hundred twenty,
Speaker 1: between hundred twenty and a hundred forty or maybe even
Speaker 1: more than a hundred forty. Could you see them going
Speaker 1: fifty forty in this lineup when you still have guys
Speaker 1: like t as well? That is the poll question. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit later on. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I think how I would vote, and maybe
Speaker 1: we'll keep track of this. But what I want to
Speaker 1: do first is here on the statue of the the side
Speaker 1: for I want to get into some of the baseball
Speaker 1: news and those guys I was talking to you about before.
Speaker 1: If Michael Kunfordo but the New York Mets, he came
Speaker 1: back from that shoulder injury. Listen by all accounts ahead
Speaker 1: of schedule. Okay, he's hitting the lead off for the Mets,
Speaker 1: and in his first game back against the Gnats against
Speaker 1: Steven Strasbourg, no less, he hits a two run homer
Speaker 1: in the Mets eight to win against the Gnats. Also
Speaker 1: walked in good ground into a double play, but still
Speaker 1: homer and walk in your first game. I like that.
Speaker 1: I like fourto in the one spot of this lineup. Remember,
Speaker 1: originally we thought that Afordo wasn't gonna come back until potentially,
Speaker 1: you know, late May at that end. This is a
Speaker 1: full six weeks earlier than that. Okay, this Mets lineup
Speaker 1: is not bad if Cspitus is healthy, you know, if
Speaker 1: because Afordo is in there, you've got guys like Frasier
Speaker 1: chipping in, Bruce chipping In. Um, this could be very
Speaker 1: interesting because you know about their starters. Same story there.
Speaker 1: If their starters can stay healthy. You got familiar at
Speaker 1: the back end ready with about three or four saves
Speaker 1: that I've told you. This is one of my surprise teams.
Speaker 1: I think the Mets will be healthy enough to make
Speaker 1: a wild card run this year, and if they can
Speaker 1: beat the Gnats heads up like this, keep an eye
Speaker 1: out for them. I told you about these early season injuries.
Speaker 1: There's been a couple of guys that have been day
Speaker 1: to day recently. Okay, Jack's like Christie Yelloch. Keep an
Speaker 1: eye on him. He's got no bleak. Uh. He left
Speaker 1: the game this week, um, and he could be out
Speaker 1: a couple of days, right. Adam Eaton had an ankle.
Speaker 1: He could be out a couple of days, right. But
Speaker 1: you know who the guy had on my team? And
Speaker 1: check this out. I have Carlos Korea on all of
Speaker 1: my teams. Okay, I invested first round picks. I invested
Speaker 1: thirty forty dollars in Carlos Correa this year. I wanted
Speaker 1: him my foot. He was gonna take a step forward.
Speaker 1: I think he is going to make it a streak
Speaker 1: of middle end fielders for the Astros that win the
Speaker 1: American League MVP Award. I had Korea on all my teams, right,
Speaker 1: thousand ball off his toe about a week ago. He's like,
Speaker 1: listen his day to day. Then he he hits it
Speaker 1: again and is pulled from a game midweek. Right, So
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh, maybe they're gonna arrest him day
Speaker 1: to day. At the same time, like everybody else who's
Speaker 1: day to dames a couple of games, you put him
Speaker 1: out of your lineup like Speeds did. Check this out. Boom.
Speaker 1: He plays the next day and hits an inside the
Speaker 1: park home run. I guess the toe is okay. The
Speaker 1: other thing I want to tell you about it so
Speaker 1: far this week, I think is the interesting takeaway um Otani.
Speaker 1: Otani hit his second home run, and I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something. This is impressive because it was off of
Speaker 1: Corey Kouber number one and he did appo. He hit it,
Speaker 1: you know, to the power alley opposite field. That is legit. Okay.
Speaker 1: If he is going to be in the lineup two
Speaker 1: out of every five days and then pitching a third
Speaker 1: and he is only twenty three years old. We already
Speaker 1: on a previous episode of the Fantasy Freestyle. I told
Speaker 1: you about how much I like his um fork ball.
Speaker 1: I like the whiff rate on his forkball. I like
Speaker 1: his average velocity on bar. With guys like Luis Severino,
Speaker 1: I like that from Otani, and he's hitting the likes
Speaker 1: of Corey Kouber. He's taking them, yah yah. Keep an
Speaker 1: eye out on Otani not getting off to a bad
Speaker 1: start after a bad spring training. One of the injuries
Speaker 1: that do matter, though, is in San Diego, Padre's first baseman,
Speaker 1: Will Myers. Okay, he has some nerve issue with his
Speaker 1: triceps in his arms. He's going to the d L,
Speaker 1: all right, So they're gonna need to replace him. You
Speaker 1: may need to replace him in your lineups. He was
Speaker 1: first basement. I know a lot of people liked as
Speaker 1: a position that was gonna had that good mid level depth.
Speaker 1: But I will say this at this point, there's something
Speaker 1: like what, um, five ten games of the season. You
Speaker 1: know that is about you know, say this five games
Speaker 1: the season? Seven games in five season. That is like
Speaker 1: one of the season. Okay, that is like in the NFL,
Speaker 1: if you translated it, that is just the first half
Speaker 1: of the first game. You know, you can't make any
Speaker 1: huge predictions, So I am going to stay away from
Speaker 1: making any kind of big proclamations about these people that
Speaker 1: are off the hot starts or that are off to
Speaker 1: a horrible you know starts. We will do are hot
Speaker 1: in the streets segments a little bit down the load
Speaker 1: in this month. But what I do want to say,
Speaker 1: the big news that I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: as it relates to Major League Baseball, Fantasy Baseball, old
Speaker 1: people out there and the stat's overbeat cipher don't want
Speaker 1: to win their leagues and win their cash. Which man
Speaker 1: spit and speeds here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Network, is that there was a big contract
Speaker 1: extension sign by my man, Charlie Blackman. First of all,
Speaker 1: if you have not seen, you know, like that world
Speaker 1: video of the kid going wild bananas off a Charlie
Speaker 1: Blackie's like it's Charlie black Man. If you haven't seen that,
Speaker 1: you gotta check it out. Um, I'm sure you could
Speaker 1: easily find it on the inter webs. But check this out, okay,
Speaker 1: Charlie Blackman signs a six year, one hundred and eight
Speaker 1: million dollar extension. Okay, now that's that's that's not all bad.
Speaker 1: That's not bad, right. You know, I would think that's
Speaker 1: what like seventeen million dollars a year about you know
Speaker 1: something something in there about um seven even more um. However,
Speaker 1: you know, if you look back, if you look back, uh,
Speaker 1: say back to like two thousand eleven, when Jason Worth
Speaker 1: got a seven year, one twenty six million dollar deal,
Speaker 1: and you thought that these contracts were just gonna continue
Speaker 1: to grow, continue to balloon, right, But that's not what
Speaker 1: has happened. Okay, you would think, and I've been talking
Speaker 1: about it myself. I've been talking about it myself, this
Speaker 1: idea that, oh my goodness, next year, the free agent
Speaker 1: class is gonna be sick. You know, we're talking about
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, we talked about Manny Machado, we talked about
Speaker 1: Josh Donaldson, and we talked about Charlie Blackman. There's pictures
Speaker 1: as well. Right when we talk about Charlie Blackman, this
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a guy who was gonna get paid,
Speaker 1: you know, four hundred million dollars for Harper, you know,
Speaker 1: hundreds of billions of dollars. But when you think about it,
Speaker 1: and this is why I like Charlie Blackman and his team.
Speaker 1: They could be honorary members of the status over Pete Cipher.
Speaker 1: I like it because Charlie Blackman, after the season, is
Speaker 1: gonna be thirty two years old, okay. And one of
Speaker 1: the lines of demarkification this offseason was this idea of
Speaker 1: not giving big, long contracts to older players, especially anybody
Speaker 1: in their thirties. Already, black Men will be thirty two, okay.
Speaker 1: He got a six year deal from the Rockets. Okay
Speaker 1: to pay him in essence. Um, so he's thirty one
Speaker 1: right now, so until he's thirty seven, Okay, this dude
Speaker 1: is going to in this deal. He is going to
Speaker 1: have a twenty one million dollar option when he's thirty
Speaker 1: six years old. Let me say that again. He will
Speaker 1: get a twenty one million dollar option a player option
Speaker 1: in two thousand and twenty two, when Charlie Blackman is
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old player. Okay. He has a
Speaker 1: ten million dollar option in two thousand twenty three when
Speaker 1: he is thirty seven years old, in the last year
Speaker 1: of this deal. Okay. And Charlie Blackman and his team
Speaker 1: locked that in right now. I love that Why because
Speaker 1: what has the trend been in this offseason? Not paying
Speaker 1: position players, not giving anybody. You know, the six seven,
Speaker 1: eight year deal Eric Hosmer I think was like the
Speaker 1: lone exception, right, and his deal for Santi Apri But
Speaker 1: even his deal, his deal ends, Um, you know when
Speaker 1: he's like thirty five. Okay, you're not getting paid like
Speaker 1: that when you're in age thirty seven season, right, So
Speaker 1: maybe black Men would have been the exact kind of guy.
Speaker 1: And and shout out to my man Jeff Passon, let's
Speaker 1: go orange out of Yahoo, who was talking to most
Speaker 1: about this. Okay, I'm gonna tell you where I different
Speaker 1: from Passes as well. Um, most most people are not
Speaker 1: paying anymore for for that production in instead, they're restocking
Speaker 1: the farm system. Okay, that's the way it's going down, right,
Speaker 1: And when you throw on top of the black man,
Speaker 1: he has bad um old world splints. He's at coors Field.
Speaker 1: Maybe he has the open market and people don't want
Speaker 1: to don't want to take a chance on somebody who
Speaker 1: they think is inflated, because of course, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So here's the thing, and this is where
Speaker 1: I different from passing good next year coming up right,
Speaker 1: and and and this is why not only is the
Speaker 1: black Man deal toy, I tip my hat to his team,
Speaker 1: but I wonder past does if this is a trend, right,
Speaker 1: is this a reality now? Okay? And and and and
Speaker 1: he brings up you know, Machado and Harper next year.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. These guys are twenty five years
Speaker 1: old right now. Right. So even if he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pay a thirty three year old, right,
Speaker 1: which is what Charlie Blackman will be like two a
Speaker 1: year or two intert this extension, right, that would still
Speaker 1: be an eight year deal. So can Machado buck the trend, yes,
Speaker 1: it's twenty four, twenty five years old. And Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: buck the trend, yes, twenty five years old. Okay, they
Speaker 1: are exceptions to the rule. I think the interesting case
Speaker 1: is Josh Donaldson. Josh Donaldson is gonna be thirty three,
Speaker 1: okay and passing things that he could even you know,
Speaker 1: kind of be an exception to the rule. I beg
Speaker 1: to differ. I think Josh Donaldson. I've been saying it
Speaker 1: here on Fantasy Freestyle for ever since the beginning of
Speaker 1: last year, when I said you got off to that
Speaker 1: bad start, because of a cap injury, and that that
Speaker 1: was going to linger. Shout out to my man Scott Angle,
Speaker 1: the King Scott Angle, who told me about that and
Speaker 1: every if you look deeper, he's for gazy. Okay. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Josh Donaldson is extremely talented and he's going to produce.
Speaker 1: But the thing is he is now injury prone. He
Speaker 1: is going to be thirty three years old. What are
Speaker 1: you going to do? Give him a four or five
Speaker 1: year deal? I severely, severely doubt it. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: do not think, and I think in fact, Charlie Blackman
Speaker 1: saw that coming. He decided to stay at Corps where
Speaker 1: he has a culture fit, where he's got a nice
Speaker 1: developing young team, where he is going to get paid,
Speaker 1: and he has player options for his last two years
Speaker 1: and when he is going to be h thirty six
Speaker 1: and thirty seven, totally over thirty million dollars. When you're
Speaker 1: down with the statue over beat cipher, come check me
Speaker 1: out in two thousand and twenty two, will still be
Speaker 1: reconvening over here. And you tell me then if Charlie
Speaker 1: Blackman million is a good deal, I think it will be.
Speaker 1: I think he saw the market. He got ahead of
Speaker 1: the market. Shout out to Charlie Blackman. As we keep
Speaker 1: in a moving there though on the Fantasy Freestyle here
Speaker 1: in the Fantasy Sports Network, I want to tell you
Speaker 1: about two things that I just saw recently real quick
Speaker 1: in baseball before we keep going after the break and
Speaker 1: switch on over. You know how we do the Dion
Speaker 1: saying there's the bo Jackson. Uh, you know the prime
Speaker 1: time we do it over two sports. But in Baseball
Speaker 1: check out, we got to pull question up as well, right,
Speaker 1: how many home runs will stand judge in Sanchez come
Speaker 1: buying for this year in the Bronx and beyond. And
Speaker 1: I wanted it was funny because Yankees pr team right
Speaker 1: for this week when they had the home opener which
Speaker 1: got snowed out, first of all snow in April, which
Speaker 1: is crazy here in New York. You know, we're here
Speaker 1: in the Mecca that's the home of the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: and the statued over beat Cipher very very close Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: That might add if you ever in New York, if
Speaker 1: you're ever in the first of all, first of all
Speaker 1: holl Abbey stats over beat Cipher, um get at me.
Speaker 1: I always giving the big shout out to the cipher.
Speaker 1: Get at me. If you are from out of town
Speaker 1: and you're ever in New York and you want to
Speaker 1: see how it goes down, we'll take you over to
Speaker 1: Rock and Riley Studio thirty four. I'll be out there
Speaker 1: next week, Studio thirty four and neeping to go it.
Speaker 1: Um but I digress. The Yankees had these like promotional beers,
Speaker 1: and they they had like a so new technology that
Speaker 1: was able to do like designs kind of like how
Speaker 1: you go to the baristas right now, right like Starbucks
Speaker 1: or wherever everybody's trying to do it, and then you
Speaker 1: get off fancy with floff in the foam. The Yankees
Speaker 1: going to do that with the head of the beers,
Speaker 1: and they were able to, I guess, make like even
Speaker 1: intricate designs of faces and whatnot. And then apparently and apparently,
Speaker 1: um uh, major League Baseball was like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you were not allowed to do this. No, you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to use their likenesses. It was pretty much like
Speaker 1: the n C double A you know in the video
Speaker 1: games and the O'Bannon case. It was pretty interesting to
Speaker 1: check this out, and the Yankee spokes for people like
Speaker 1: walked it back our hospitality team took the event as
Speaker 1: an opportunity to test them image machine with various Yankees
Speaker 1: related logos and photos. However, the Yankees have no current
Speaker 1: plans of incorporating this decorative element on occasion on a
Speaker 1: concession item this season. Yo, so they're just getting stunted. Man,
Speaker 1: it checks out. Was like the man that is MLB Baseball.
Speaker 1: But um, the last thing I would say I was
Speaker 1: cruising Netflix. You know Netflix and chill. Um. If you
Speaker 1: know about neckflace and chill, you should also check out
Speaker 1: my man at Roto where Kenny cash they'd be doing,
Speaker 1: uh lineups and chill. That's one of their hot hot shirts.
Speaker 1: You should definitely check them out Roto where by the
Speaker 1: way is the bomb there the illest gear if you're
Speaker 1: a fantasy enthusiasts. They have all sports types of sports
Speaker 1: from their hockey shirts at the squad goals, who blocks
Speaker 1: and skills matter in basketball? Just so many multi use ones.
Speaker 1: I love the my bench greater than your starters. I
Speaker 1: love the mind lineup versus everybody. I love the wave
Speaker 1: of wire Warriors. Big shout out to Kennedy Cashman and
Speaker 1: the Road to Wire Crew. Just go to their website.
Speaker 1: You can follow them on Twitter roto where it's the
Speaker 1: it's the ls you know, tell him you man speeds
Speaker 1: the spitting Statustician sent you. Um. But regardless of of
Speaker 1: the promotional shirts, I was talking about, like, you should
Speaker 1: be able to make this money, you know, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to make this money and be creative with
Speaker 1: that design. But in any event, the Netflix and Chill,
Speaker 1: and that's where I got to the lineups and Chill,
Speaker 1: The Netflix and Chill. I was on Netflix and I
Speaker 1: saw this thing called Fastball, which I wanted to just
Speaker 1: tell you it was pretty cool. They were talking about
Speaker 1: how they like measured the fastball um over time. You know.
Speaker 1: It kind of even started with Walter Johnson. At one
Speaker 1: point in back in the day, they had Walter Johnson
Speaker 1: throw a fastball and it was racing literally against the
Speaker 1: guy who's riding in a motorcycle at a specific speed,
Speaker 1: like at a hundred miles an hour. And that's how
Speaker 1: they tried to decide how fast uh Walter Johnson was pitching,
Speaker 1: you know, And then they thought it was Bob Gibson
Speaker 1: and they talked about how people thought his pitch would
Speaker 1: jump up and they actually explained the psychology of that
Speaker 1: because like your mind as a mental model for everything, right,
Speaker 1: and when it actually when the fastball actually goes faster
Speaker 1: than what the human mind and can perceive that it
Speaker 1: can do, you know, because the human mind assumes, I
Speaker 1: guess that it falls a little bit, you know, when
Speaker 1: you throw a fastball, But when it's going faster and
Speaker 1: it does not drop, like gravity does not have that
Speaker 1: effect on it, it actually tricks your mind. And that's
Speaker 1: why hitters over time over the decades in baseball have
Speaker 1: said they're like the fastest of the fast fastballs seemed
Speaker 1: to hop up and they said that with Bob Gibson
Speaker 1: that did They talked about everybody from Bob Feller to
Speaker 1: a Roldish Chapman right now um to Nolan Ryan, and
Speaker 1: they actually talked about how they the radar gardens were
Speaker 1: from different um places and would measure it in different ways,
Speaker 1: So like a ninety nine in the seventies was different
Speaker 1: than a ninety nine in the nineties, and that actually
Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan through fastballs and seventies that were clocked that's
Speaker 1: that by now standards are really like one oh six um.
Speaker 1: So I thought it was very interesting check this out
Speaker 1: it's called Fastball on Netflix. But anyway, when we get back,
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. We gotta take a break
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Network. What we're gonna do
Speaker 1: is we are going to switch gears and we're going
Speaker 1: to talk a little football. Um, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: start getting ramped up for the draft, but I do
Speaker 1: want to talk about it in these dull drums. When
Speaker 1: you think everybody signed, how there's a couple of things
Speaker 1: going on where people are still trying to get into
Speaker 1: the league and a couple of ways they can do it.
Speaker 1: In fact, uh, we'll talk about even Mr Johnny Football
Speaker 1: is back, So come on back. We'll hollow about it

Speaker 1: Sports now, we're again you boys speeds Um. There's definitely
Speaker 1: news breaking and the biggest thing that happened this week,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is check this out. The Patriots. They
Speaker 1: have made a big time move. They traded their number
Speaker 1: one rode receiver Brandon Cooks at a fourth round pick,
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Rams for their first round pick.
Speaker 1: It was number twenty three overall and their sixth round
Speaker 1: pick as well. Okay, so now the Pats have their
Speaker 1: own pick, which is you know, thirty one, and the
Speaker 1: Rams pick at twenty three in the first round. It's
Speaker 1: an interesting way to think about it. There's so many
Speaker 1: angles on this train. And I talked about it a
Speaker 1: little bit before Um in the early week episode of
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. First of all, if you look at
Speaker 1: it from like Bill Belichick as a mover and a shaker, right,
Speaker 1: Remember he traded his uh thirty first overall pick for
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks if you remember, to the New Orleans Saints. Right,
Speaker 1: he got a year of Brandon Cooks where he had
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving where he was like good and
Speaker 1: cheap when he was still young and like you know,
Speaker 1: early in his career on rookie contract action, and then
Speaker 1: traded him to the Rams and got a twenty three
Speaker 1: overall pick like eight spots better and the service of
Speaker 1: Brandon Cookes. So that's what it looks like if you're
Speaker 1: thinking about it from a straight business standpoint for the Pats. Right.
Speaker 1: But I I questioned this, Okay, I questioned this with
Speaker 1: one caveat. But I questioned this because look, the Patriots
Speaker 1: have lost a lot this year. Okay, Um, Dean Lewis,
Speaker 1: Martellez Bennett even uh now, Brandon Cooks. You know, I
Speaker 1: hate to say it, but Tom Brady another year older,
Speaker 1: regardless of all the avocados and the okay, um, Rob
Speaker 1: Gronkowski still you know on some like unsure on if
Speaker 1: he's going to play, he's likely to play. A lot
Speaker 1: of reports about him being not necessarily add percent pleased
Speaker 1: and quote unquote all in with the Belichick regime anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been talking about that this is the
Speaker 1: fall of Rome. I think this is the fall of
Speaker 1: Rome year. Okay, when we talk about the Pats having
Speaker 1: lost not only Dean Lewis and blah blah blah, you
Speaker 1: know this stuff, now, Brandon Cooks, what they have also
Speaker 1: lost is, you know, Matt Patricia. They also almost lost
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. On the other side, you know, they Nate
Speaker 1: Soldier on their offensive line. They almost also lost their
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator McDaniels. Right, So, I think this we are
Speaker 1: witnessing the decline. I think we are going to see
Speaker 1: new teams in the a f C Championship Game next year.
Speaker 1: My my predictions, you know, right now, things like you know,
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the Chargers might sound crazy to people,
Speaker 1: but you know, I think Steelers and Chargers in the
Speaker 1: a f C, and I think Rams and Vikings at
Speaker 1: this point in the NFC. But that's besides the point.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that as we get closer the football.
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, here's the caveat what if
Speaker 1: these are the two first round picks that we've been
Speaker 1: hearing that the Giants want for old Dell Beckham? Right,
Speaker 1: we've been hearing about, oh, what's the Giants price for
Speaker 1: Oldell Beckham? Oh? Is Oldell Beckham on the trading block?
Speaker 1: And we hear that, oh, it's two first round picks. Well,
Speaker 1: now the Patriots have two first round picks. What would
Speaker 1: be happening if the Patriots were doing this to organize
Speaker 1: and push all in and give the Giants the draft
Speaker 1: capital that it required to go ahead and get oh
Speaker 1: Dell Beckham, And that would be there's the Patriots kind
Speaker 1: of thing to do, right, because they know all these
Speaker 1: other weapons are sun setting, because they know the window
Speaker 1: is right now for them to try to get one more,
Speaker 1: try to take a shot with the triplets of Brady
Speaker 1: Cronk and O p J. I think that would be
Speaker 1: very interesting. So it bears watching. On the other side
Speaker 1: of things, Listen the Rams, as I said before, I
Speaker 1: think they are an NFC championship game team along with
Speaker 1: the Vikings in my opinion, and uh, they're going for it.
Speaker 1: And if this is not evidence of it, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: lost Sammy Watkins in free agency. They replace him with
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. Same kind of be able to stretch the field,
Speaker 1: but I think Cooks can even do a little bit
Speaker 1: more if you want to know the truth. Cooks has
Speaker 1: also been more reliable health wise in his career than
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins. So if that's not a wash, if not
Speaker 1: a slight upgrade in many people's opinion. Right, But let's
Speaker 1: not forget this is the same team that defensively in
Speaker 1: this offseason has acquired Marcus Peters, has acquired a keep
Speaker 1: to leap, has acquired in Dominican Soup to pair on
Speaker 1: that defensive line with Aaron Donald defensive player of the Year.
Speaker 1: Like this is a team that also I think got
Speaker 1: Sam Shields, I mean, and on offense, like I said,
Speaker 1: you already add Brandon Cooks to an offense that was
Speaker 1: in the top three points per game with an ascending
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jared goff and m VP candidate in Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley pairing Cooks with Cooper Cup and with Robert Woods,
Speaker 1: and um, you have a prolific both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: And what I love about this Rams defense, UM, is
Speaker 1: the way Wade Phillips is bringing this. You know you're
Speaker 1: gonna get a straight quick pressure up the middle from
Speaker 1: Sue and Donald which is going to allow press coverage
Speaker 1: on the outside from a keep to leave and Marcus Peters.
Speaker 1: I love that. Um, So keep an eye on this.
Speaker 1: Is this the prelude for Odell Beckham UM. Down in
Speaker 1: Baltimore head coach John Harbor I noticed this. Um. He
Speaker 1: kind of threw shade at Joe Blacko say that Flacco should,
Speaker 1: in fact organize one of those camps you know here
Speaker 1: sometimes about like the quarterbacks doing like, yeah, we did
Speaker 1: offseason workouts. You know, we were in Florida together, and
Speaker 1: we were in California together. We did a camp, you know,
Speaker 1: something like that. He's pretty much saying that Flacco needs
Speaker 1: to do that with is you know, kind of new
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Remember, so far they've gotten Michael Crabtree in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: his new uh John Brown, they have his knew. They
Speaker 1: still may address it in the draft. This is not
Speaker 1: my big lost Mike Wallace. They cut Jeremy Macklin. So
Speaker 1: he's saying, you know, Flacco needs to build this chemistry,
Speaker 1: and he said, like the great ones do that, you know,
Speaker 1: And I think that is throwing a little bit of
Speaker 1: shade at Joe Flacco. But if you are a fan
Speaker 1: of the statu over beat Cipher and the Fantasy freestyle,
Speaker 1: you know that the spin statistician thinks Joe Flacco was
Speaker 1: a fantasy fool Gaze. He is the original fool gazing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know, he had that world series that was one
Speaker 1: on the defense. Yeah, I know, he quote unquote bet
Speaker 1: on himself and got paid and more powered to him. Okay,
Speaker 1: but he fool Gaze. He is not good anymore. He
Speaker 1: is on the sad end of his career. If you're
Speaker 1: thinking about guys like Drew Brees and Eli Manning and
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger as getting old, think about
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and he was only good for about a
Speaker 1: year and a half. He's just par laid that into
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. Okay, so he's finally getting some pressure
Speaker 1: on him Uh, that's being harbor and I think that's
Speaker 1: a problem. I think that's a problem. I think they
Speaker 1: like they kept Flacco a year too long, and I
Speaker 1: think it's going to relate, uh, result in Hardball getting
Speaker 1: fired in January of two nineteen. If you also saw
Speaker 1: the Ravens brought on. Of all people, they brought on
Speaker 1: r G three. R G three will be a backup
Speaker 1: too Flacco this year in Baltimore. UM, so you know,
Speaker 1: keep it moving. I think it's interesting that you know,
Speaker 1: they decided to sign r G three and that kind
Speaker 1: of skill set of quarterback, but not know someone else
Speaker 1: that might be out there. Hudos, um, someone else who
Speaker 1: arrived you out there that we're actually gonna talk about
Speaker 1: a little bit later on. UM. More news though, real quick. Uh,
Speaker 1: the New York Jets have decided to extend my boy,
Speaker 1: Quincy E WAW is a one year, two point nine
Speaker 1: million dollar extension. The reason I bring this up is because,
Speaker 1: don't look now, but the Jets, and I know this
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but the Jets have a lot of interesting
Speaker 1: offensive weapons at wide receiver and running back. Okay, now
Speaker 1: I know, you know, and at quarterback. To be quite honest,
Speaker 1: I mean you know, when you have McCown, who was stable.
Speaker 1: I know he's thirty seven, he's not part of the plan, right,
Speaker 1: but Bridgewater is very intriguing. They're probably gonna wind up
Speaker 1: with one of these quarterbacks. They're running backs. Listen, man
Speaker 1: Isaiah Coel interesting, Malaw Powell interesting, right, um Thomas Rawls interesting.
Speaker 1: And but then think about these wide receivers. And that's
Speaker 1: what I bring it up with a Noon law. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a Noon Law. There's Robbie Andership who kind of
Speaker 1: broke out even though you know the charges have been dropped, right,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't gonna whatever he said he was gonna do.
Speaker 1: There's a CoP's wife. That's the size of point. Check
Speaker 1: it out Google that you know what it is. But
Speaker 1: that's three already. That's three already. Okay in noonwa Anderson
Speaker 1: with Terrell Prior who they signed. Don't forget about guys
Speaker 1: like um uh Lucky Whitehead that they got. Don't forget
Speaker 1: about guys like you know, young kids like ore Darius
Speaker 1: Stewart and Sharon Peak and Chad Hansen. Don't forget about
Speaker 1: recovering early round pick. Devin Smith takes the LAHM. A
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Don't forget about return specialist, kickoff
Speaker 1: specialist Andre Roberts that they have. That's nine wide receivers
Speaker 1: that I named that are all interesting. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: you know, um, a young, improving defense that's interesting as well.
Speaker 1: They may be on the right time cycle whenever Todd
Speaker 1: Brady does fall off. That's what jess Arns like we
Speaker 1: at least have to hope for, and that they get
Speaker 1: to pick right when it comes to quarterback. The last
Speaker 1: thing I'll mention before we get into the main story
Speaker 1: here on the NFL tip is the Broncos have decided
Speaker 1: to sign punter Marquette King to a three year deal.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this because I told you the Raiders cut him,
Speaker 1: and you know he wasn't gonna be unemployed for long.
Speaker 1: But now this is sick. When you combine what King
Speaker 1: Aret does with his punts with the thin air in Denver,
Speaker 1: I think it'll be really interesting. He just wanted to
Speaker 1: close the loop on that to check this out. It
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a slow time in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Right We're getting ready for the draft in about three
Speaker 1: weeks um, but there's something going on. Like there were
Speaker 1: some pro days and there was an interesting guy at
Speaker 1: a pro day I want to talk about. Okay, at
Speaker 1: the San Diego Pro Day last week, our boy Johnny
Speaker 1: Football was there all right, and there were scouts from
Speaker 1: thirteen teams that were there, including we know, the Patriots
Speaker 1: were there, the Giants were there, the Raiders were there.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, now, I gotta tell you something
Speaker 1: what I've heard out of him recently, and he's done
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a pr blitz to
Speaker 1: be back out there a little bit. It sounds to
Speaker 1: me for the most part, like he's matured a little bit,
Speaker 1: or at least that he's gone control of his vices
Speaker 1: and his addictions, and that he's he's he's developing on
Speaker 1: his path and in that journey. Okay, um he has been.
Speaker 1: He's come out uh public with his diagnosis of apparently
Speaker 1: being bi bowler and um and and and he kind
Speaker 1: of understands that he got he he thought he was
Speaker 1: a big time and he failed prey a certain things.
Speaker 1: You don't check this out quote When I first got
Speaker 1: in the league, did I have some leeway? Sure right there,
Speaker 1: But I've exhausted all the leeway in the second chances.
Speaker 1: This isn't the second chance. It's the thirty fifth chance.
Speaker 1: This is the last of the last chances to show
Speaker 1: people that I've made a drastic change in my life
Speaker 1: and it's for the better and that I'm happy where
Speaker 1: I'm at. I bring this up because not only was
Speaker 1: Johnny Football at a pro day, but they're doing this
Speaker 1: kind of crazy spring showcase down in Austin this weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be um kind of a showcase or games
Speaker 1: almost this weekend and next weekend, the seventh, and the fourteen. Okay,
Speaker 1: and uh, this is could be Johnny Football's path. And
Speaker 1: we've heard him say everything like even if he doesn't
Speaker 1: get an offer from an NFL team to go to
Speaker 1: a uh you know, a sprint practice or o t
Speaker 1: a that he might go to the CFL. He seems
Speaker 1: like he's differently dedicated to it. Okay, he says, however, Um,
Speaker 1: being sober is more important now. And I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: this is the kind of evolution He's really more focused
Speaker 1: on his sobriety in his life. You know, he's been sober,
Speaker 1: he says, for three or four months, hasn't done quote
Speaker 1: unquote are drugs in a year? Um. The other reason
Speaker 1: I bring this up is because in multiple places where
Speaker 1: I saw this, whether it's Bleacher Report or other newspaper articles, UM,
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask try to make parallels between
Speaker 1: Johnny Football's like path in and out of the NFL
Speaker 1: and Colin Kaepernick's path in and out of the NFL.
Speaker 1: And to be quite honest, I don't see it. I
Speaker 1: don't see it at all. Okay, UM, I think it's silly.
Speaker 1: I think it's um tone deaf, if you want to
Speaker 1: know the truth. And I am also happy to see
Speaker 1: that Johnny Football also thinks that that's tone deaf, you know.
Speaker 1: He UM thinks that, to be quite honest, that Cap
Speaker 1: as a role model. He thinks that, you know, these
Speaker 1: guys are that he is completely different. He said it
Speaker 1: and tweet actually he said, uh, I'm tired of the
Speaker 1: Cap verse myself, comparisons and anger. He goes, CAP is
Speaker 1: doing amazing things right now, changing lives and donating millions
Speaker 1: of dollars. His impact off the field from a societal
Speaker 1: standpoint is legendary and straight admirable. And that's like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a normal response, you know, And and I think
Speaker 1: that's indicative of how maybe Manzelle has evolved and matured
Speaker 1: because he's like, listen, look at this guy. It's not
Speaker 1: about me. He's taking like this humble round like don't
Speaker 1: worry about not like, don't bring me into his then
Speaker 1: kind of weird paradigm, Like look at what this man
Speaker 1: is doing. And he also backed him up just skill wise,
Speaker 1: you know. Said Um said that Cap is definitely being
Speaker 1: black balled, said that Cap like wreckt Havoc on the
Speaker 1: NFC West said that, you know, listen, he took a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. He took the team to a super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Like how hard is that to do? You know? And
Speaker 1: to be quite honest, Cap, it's still working out. Cap
Speaker 1: is still working out. I'm telling you, UM, check his instagram.
Speaker 1: He looks decent in his workouts. So that's another thing
Speaker 1: to say. But what if I told you you moving
Speaker 1: on here in the fantasy freestyle that happen is not
Speaker 1: the only San Francisco forty nine or former San Marcisco
Speaker 1: forty nine that um, I think he's getting black bawled. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're talking about I'm talking about Eric Reid. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know about this Eric Reid. He's like
Speaker 1: a you know, borderline Pro Bowl safety Okay, Um, he
Speaker 1: is still unsigned, all right, Um, he was a first
Speaker 1: round pick. He started like almost all but one of
Speaker 1: his last uh you know, like five seasons. Um last
Speaker 1: year had a couple of picks, had you know, sixty
Speaker 1: seven tackles was you know. But the thing is, he
Speaker 1: was one of the forty niner teammates that were very
Speaker 1: early to support Kaepernick. Um to like I think he was.
Speaker 1: He first had like his hand on his shoulder or
Speaker 1: something when he first did it, you know. And um,
Speaker 1: now he hasn't been signed either. And you know, this
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting because like you're gonna still do
Speaker 1: this even after you know, the the evolution apparently on
Speaker 1: the kneeing and on the anthem on on this issue,
Speaker 1: you know, and that may be potentially black bowling someone else.
Speaker 1: And Um, one of the players that is heavily involved
Speaker 1: in the NFL p A is Malcolm Jenkins, right, And
Speaker 1: he says, and he's a friend of Eric Read and
Speaker 1: he actually says that you know, something is going on here,
Speaker 1: you know, UM in a recent article. Check this out,
Speaker 1: um quote. It would be hard to say that he's
Speaker 1: not getting any calls just on talent alone. I think
Speaker 1: any team that is considering him is going to waste
Speaker 1: political views and the strong stance that he's taken in
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. And that's unfortunate, but it's
Speaker 1: just kind of what it is. So hopefully teams will
Speaker 1: look past that and evaluate him as a player. And
Speaker 1: I think as a player, he deserves a spot in
Speaker 1: this league. But I'd be kidding myself if I said
Speaker 1: that his stance isn't playing a role in him not
Speaker 1: having a call yet. Okay, and um, Eric Read himself said,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of chimed in about this. He tweeted
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago he said, the notion that
Speaker 1: I can be a great signing for your team for cheap,
Speaker 1: not because of my skill set, but because I've protested
Speaker 1: systematic oppression is ludicrous. If you think this, then your
Speaker 1: mindset is part of the problem too, you know. And
Speaker 1: and but it's outlandish, Like it's so obvious to me,
Speaker 1: like some of these other elements in our society right now,
Speaker 1: so obvious that that's what's at play here, whether it
Speaker 1: be with CAP or now another player. Eric reed, um,
Speaker 1: So I had to bring that to light here. On
Speaker 1: the status of beat cycle, on the fantasy freestyle because
Speaker 1: you know how we do here. You know, the spitting
Speaker 1: statistician don't only help you win your leagues and win
Speaker 1: that cash, but we also, uh you know, we get
Speaker 1: into it. We get into it for real. We talked
Speaker 1: about with you know a lot of people aren't getting that.
Speaker 1: We we bring it to light to everybody to chew
Speaker 1: on it and think about it as they still enjoy
Speaker 1: the sports and the stats overbeats and the information they
Speaker 1: need and uh, you know, the fun and functional sports
Speaker 1: and check this out. This this issue though, it is
Speaker 1: so sensitive about the anthem, right that, UM, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you heard they canceled, they took off. A
Speaker 1: recent episode of Blackish was pulled from being aired because
Speaker 1: it dealt with, um, the anthem and the kneeling issue.
Speaker 1: UM ab see sheldon Is episode of Blackish because of
Speaker 1: quote unquote creative deep differences with the show runner Kenyan Barris. Right. Um,
Speaker 1: it was titled Please Baby. It was supposed to air
Speaker 1: on February and um, if you don't know about Blackish, uh,
Speaker 1: Anthony Anderson, Um, it's you know, kind of this modern
Speaker 1: day black family. Um, and they tackle all sorts of uh,
Speaker 1: you know, topics. I mean, they've tackled things like the
Speaker 1: N word, uh, the Trump administration and the police brutality, uh,
Speaker 1: postpartum depression. You know a lot of topics. UM. And
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's entertaining, but it's also well done.
Speaker 1: UM educates people, it dives into issues. UM. And this
Speaker 1: episode was gonna be dre telling kind of a kid
Speaker 1: a bedtime story, right and um of like all the
Speaker 1: things that have gone on and in it. One of
Speaker 1: the big things was this idea about kneeling for the
Speaker 1: anthem and um have they kind of him and Junior
Speaker 1: then kind of differed on what they should do, UM
Speaker 1: and if it was right to stand for the anthem,
Speaker 1: and they decided to not air this or it was
Speaker 1: pulled and shelved. UM. So this is a very pick topic.
Speaker 1: And so now not only our networks not airing shows,
Speaker 1: but maybe it's more than just Colin Kaepernick not getting
Speaker 1: a spot in the league. And that would be very
Speaker 1: interesting to consider. But check it out when we come
Speaker 1: back here on the Fantasy Sports Network. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: is we are going to talk about a couple of
Speaker 1: other things. We're gonna put the fun in functional sports radio.

Speaker 1: and sixty nine cents to um SO. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Mendel Bruce who suggested uh two interesting organizations. The first
Speaker 1: is Normal n O r m L, which is the
Speaker 1: National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law and also

Speaker 1: We are going to I think I'm gonna put it

Speaker 1: that cash left end right on the Fantasy Freestyle. You know,
Speaker 1: one of the things that a lot of callers and
Speaker 1: me when we were coming back and friends of the show,
Speaker 1: if you're friends with this part of the cipher, we
Speaker 1: say Dilly Dilley, right, and we talked about Dilly Dilley.
Speaker 1: Shout out again to Jilly Dilley. We had people, you know,
Speaker 1: um always calling the show using the Dilly Dilley, right,
Speaker 1: And we talked about the commercials a lot. We'll check
Speaker 1: this out this weekend. Is a tradition unlike any other
Speaker 1: the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, right and engulf, you know,
Speaker 1: and this is a long practice. When guys hit their drives,
Speaker 1: you know, off the tea, people screamed things like oh
Speaker 1: we noted that one, you know. And when on the
Speaker 1: putting green, you know, because you've got to be so quiet, right,
Speaker 1: because you gotta be so quiet. But um, when these
Speaker 1: guys put then they're like getting the whole you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like that that has been you know, made fun
Speaker 1: of and documented in golf movies. Left end right. Well,
Speaker 1: check this out going into the Masters this year, Okay,
Speaker 1: the security team at Augusta National got a list of
Speaker 1: terms like profane language that patrons could be ejected for
Speaker 1: or things that they were not allowed to scream. And
Speaker 1: guess what, guys, Dilly Dilly was on the list. If
Speaker 1: you screw aemed out Billy Dilly after a golfer shot,
Speaker 1: you could have been removed from the ground. You would
Speaker 1: have been ejected for shouting out Dilly Dilley. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about that. I think that's
Speaker 1: kind of the man coming down. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I'm a libertarian, you know, I should have the right
Speaker 1: to cheer if I buy a ticket and say whatever
Speaker 1: I want. I've said some interesting things and the right
Speaker 1: field bleachers of Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park and other
Speaker 1: stadiums across this fine land of ours. Right. But um,
Speaker 1: at the same time, I love the way bud Light
Speaker 1: and the bud Night. The bud King specifically responded, they
Speaker 1: put it out on Twitter. Check this out. I retweeted it.
Speaker 1: Um what they did, uh there was he was like, Uh,
Speaker 1: no one can be oppressive as a king except for me.
Speaker 1: So instead, what they did was bud Light sent uh
Speaker 1: thousands of bud Light Dilly Dilly t shirts just down
Speaker 1: there for free. They're giving them out for people to
Speaker 1: wear Dilly Dilly instead of screaming out Dilly dilley. I
Speaker 1: think that's a great move by bud Light. As always,
Speaker 1: we tip our cap and we say Dilly Dilly to
Speaker 1: the folks down there that are representing and if you're
Speaker 1: part of the stats, over beat cipher within the sound
Speaker 1: of my voice, and you are happening to be at
Speaker 1: the Masters hit me up with a picture at spitting
Speaker 1: speeds and if you can get your hands on one
Speaker 1: of these dilly dilly shirts that are down there, Uh,
Speaker 1: send on my way please, or I have a you
Speaker 1: gotta drink on me if you ever get Studio thirty four.
Speaker 1: But I thought that was very, very interesting. The last
Speaker 1: thing I want to mention on this episode of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle is, unfortunately I said one of my one
Speaker 1: of the sporting events that I was most looking forward
Speaker 1: to in the year two thousand and eighteen is now off,
Speaker 1: and that is the rematch of Triple g Ganati Glovekin
Speaker 1: against uh Canelo Alvarez. This is off because listen, Canelo
Speaker 1: tested positive for a band substance. Okay, the band test
Speaker 1: came back. Uh, there was a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and then he had like another test and he flunked
Speaker 1: that one. Also he flunked for a substance called clen
Speaker 1: buderal Okay, and um, the funny part is is that
Speaker 1: Canelo Alvarez, who is you know of Mexican descent. Remember
Speaker 1: this fight was gonna take place on single Demio. Remember
Speaker 1: these two guys fought to a draw last time. Even
Speaker 1: though I think it was ridiculous, even though everybody knows
Speaker 1: Adelaide bird completely defecated the mattress in the judging of
Speaker 1: that fight that has been long since chronicled and documented
Speaker 1: even here on the Fantas and Freestyle. Adelaide Bird like
Speaker 1: walked away from judging after this. But regardless, their first
Speaker 1: fight last fall was a draw. And this rematch on
Speaker 1: single demyo with the you know, big Mexican contingent and
Speaker 1: who many people believe is the best fighter in the
Speaker 1: world in triple G. This rematch was supposed to happen,
Speaker 1: and it was also the day of like the Kentucky
Speaker 1: Derby in the same day, a beautiful old time sports
Speaker 1: day that your boys speed was actually looking forward to
Speaker 1: a Sinco de Mayo, the Kentucky diferent horses and boxing.
Speaker 1: It's like we were in the fifties and it was
Speaker 1: a big sporting night. But regardless, he fails for Clint Buderrol.
Speaker 1: But he says his excuse is that they injected the
Speaker 1: steroids in the cattle in the meat in Mexico. That
Speaker 1: he ate bad meat. It was like that he had
Speaker 1: mad cow disease and that's where he got this. Uh
Speaker 1: steroid from and I gotta tell you the truth because
Speaker 1: I have been down to Mexico and had interesting experiences
Speaker 1: in my life. I kid drew not shout out to
Speaker 1: pinch a gringo, but um, I believe him. Maybe he
Speaker 1: did have this bad meat. Maybe that's it. Now. Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, He's probably just using steroids, right, But
Speaker 1: I do think I mean shout out to him for
Speaker 1: using what I believe is a plausible kind of deniability.
Speaker 1: But this is not where it ends for me. I
Speaker 1: wanted to let you guys know. Um, you know they
Speaker 1: are not doing this rematch in Vegas anymore. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine the Mexicans coming out for Connello Alvarez on single
Speaker 1: the mile against Triple G. I can't believe this is
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But Triple G pulling no punches, okay,
Speaker 1: saying that he knew that Cannello was a cheater, that
Speaker 1: he knew that Canelo Alvarez was on something. Okay, he says,
Speaker 1: check this out. This is Triple G now talking. Cannelo's
Speaker 1: team are using these drugs and everybody's trying to pretend
Speaker 1: it's not happening. This guy, he knows this is not
Speaker 1: his first day in boxing. He proves he gets great
Speaker 1: benefits from everyone and he can get away with it.
Speaker 1: The commentators, the commission, the doping commission. It's a very
Speaker 1: bad business. It's not sport. Check him on a lie detector,
Speaker 1: and then we find out everything that is some serious
Speaker 1: heat coming from Triple G to Connello Alvarez. Okay, and
Speaker 1: then alvar You know, a long time ago, Alvarez was
Speaker 1: saying like, no, he respects the sport and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But Triple G, it's it's it's saying he knew even
Speaker 1: the first fight. Triple G says, before the first fight,
Speaker 1: I knew he was not clean. Have a look at
Speaker 1: the video. He used some pills. It was pretty obvious
Speaker 1: when his muscles were all with traces of injections. I've
Speaker 1: known it for a long time. And now he fails
Speaker 1: both his samples, and in fact, the fight that was
Speaker 1: supposed to be on Sincle the Mayo is off. Triple
Speaker 1: G verse Carnelo Alvarez. I hope that, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess he's suspended, right, so I hope that maybe
Speaker 1: they can go somewhere and still have this fight because
Speaker 1: I wanted to see it because I thought personally Triple
Speaker 1: G got robbed of what should have been a win
Speaker 1: in the first time when they did this, So I
Speaker 1: would have loved to have seen this, even though I
Speaker 1: do I did like Cannello Alvarez. I I thought he
Speaker 1: was uh not gonna make it up against Triple G,
Speaker 1: and now I doubt we're ever going to see it happening.
Speaker 1: Um Listen, we're almost at a time here in the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. Remember we got the poll question, so hit
Speaker 1: me up on at Spit and Speed. I wonder how
Speaker 1: many whole months you think these guys are gonna hit.
Speaker 1: I think the right answer is probably between a hundred
Speaker 1: and a hundred twenty. I don't want to go over crazy.
Speaker 1: I think people think like, oh, Judge is obviously gonna
Speaker 1: hit fifty again and Stands obviously gonna get hit fifty again.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think there's regression for both
Speaker 1: of them, but I do think they, you know, can
Speaker 1: both hit. I think all three of them could hit
Speaker 1: between thirty five and forty. You know, it's one of
Speaker 1: them going like one of them in like thirty nine
Speaker 1: and one of them being like thirty six. I think
Speaker 1: that is very viable, you know, and I think that
Speaker 1: that's between a hundred a hundred twenty. I think that's
Speaker 1: where it is. Hit me up and let me know
Speaker 1: where you think it is on the pole. Also listen
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the Stats over Beat Cipher.
